GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Lansd0w ne and O,Brien.

ON QeleCU1Ve 1n1OrlnaUlOH. lO was mac
curate to say that he (Lansdowne), had
government in 1881, and loaned it
at higher percentage to his tenants.
He denied that he had ever been disposed
to treat his tenants harshly, and had in
vestigated every case OF alleged unjust
treatment, and would have continued to
do 80 had not the land league interfered.
His policy toward his tenants was one Of
moderation, though:a at times at a consider
able sacrifice on his own part. In regard
to the accusations made againsthis grand
father in 1S47, they were wholly untrue,
for not only had the revenues declined, but
the population was depleted, and those
families on his estate who desired to emf
CRATE had their expenses paid out OF his
pocket, while those who remained were
maintained almost wholly at his grand
fathers expense.
During the past few months the c., B.
& N. r. R. from St. Paul to Chicago has
had a blank coupon attached to it's adver-
tisementin the daily papers OF the twin cit
les. This blank was to be filled out with the
senders name and mailed to General
Passenger Agent Kenyon. This method
was introduced to ascertain how many
people read the advertisements in the pa
pers. AS prizes, five subscriptions each to
the daily papers and twenty tickets to
Chicago were set aside to be given to the
holders OF the lucky tickets, each Of which
was numbered. Owing to the removal OF all
passes because of the interstate commerce
law the result is extremely gratifying.
Aside from this it shows conclusively that
the public reads the advertisements. Out of
a combined circulation OF 81, 625 copies,
22,O54 replies to the ADVERTISEMENTS were
received.
